HARRY BURTON - HAROLD PINTER'S betrayal
12 PARTICIPANTS. 7 HOURS PER DAY. 4 DAYS.
THIS IS AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH DIRECTOR HARRY BURTON ON "BETRAYAL",
It's been said that BETRAYAL (1978) is Harold Pinter's most deceptive play. On the surface we are confronted by a comedy of bourgeois manners, a chattering classes carry-on. But rumbling beneath Oxbridge entitlement and erotic compulsion are the seismic shocks of broken trust, sexual greed, self-delusion and deception. No relationship is spared the terrible grief of faithlessness and duplicity. The play’s seamless blending of comedy and emotional torture gives it a potent universality. Easily his most performed title, BETRAYAL is a richly rewarding play to explore. A CLOSE FRIEND & FREQUENT COLLABORATOR WITH HAROLD PINTER, HARRY BURTON BRINGS A DEEP KNOWLEDGE OF PINTER'S WORK. HIS PASSION IS TO EMPOWER ACTORS TO FIND THEIR WAY INTO PINTERLAND AND, ONCE THERE, TO SEIZE THE OPPORTUNITY TO RELISH THE TERRITORY.
AT THE END OF THE PROCESS THERE WILL BE A FILMED FINAL PERFORMANCE WHICH WILL ALLOW YOU TO SHOWCASE WHAT YOU HAVE DEVELOPED TOGETHER.
